LEADER Transnational Cooperation (TNC)

Through LEADER TNC, rural areas in different countries can jointly develop and share new solutions to common issues. Find out the tools developed by the EU CAP Network to support your TNC journey.

LEADER TNC encourages and supports Local Action Groups (LAGs) to undertake joint actions, often through the design and implementation of projects, in cooperation with partners in another region, Member State or even in a non-EU country. TNC enhances the efforts of local actors to improve the potential of their areas.

We have developed a series of online tools to help LAGs network and cooperate. Our LEADER TNC tools include a combination of information sections and interactive, searchable databases. Check the cards below and discover all the resources available to support your TNC journey.

Remember, if you are a LAG manager and you want to update your LAG profile, visit the LAG management page.

LAG profile management

LAG managers are gradually being granted access to the LAG Directory so they can log in, manage their LAG profiles and enrich them with additional information. Moreover, they can upload Transnational Cooperation (TNC) offers and inform users that they are actively looking for partners.

If you are a LAG manager and want to find out more about this process, please visit the dedicated LAG Profile Management page.
